[ johnny also wants the answer to that question.

Rand's similar story actually does give him a little hope, foolish though it may be. His problem is always that he can't help but hang onto those little hopes. ]

Good point. I thought the way they got here was different, though. They'd all seen the Regent already, stuff like that.

[dragonmount]

No.

[ he might've thought the same, but moiraine and ernesto had filled him in on what their arrival was like pretty quickly. estinien, too. ]

They woke the way we did. Only, the Regent's people rounded them up and tortured them, made them drink the Kenoma. It didn't work on everyone. The people who didn't succumb, they escaped and made it to Godsblood and Greentruth.

[comelately]

Huh.

[ Johnny simply hadn't asked for many details. He knew the latter parts, but he'd imagined that they'd all woken up right in the Regent's throne room or something like that - not that they'd been "hatched" the same way he had. It's little comfort to know that things actually could have been worse. ]

So that poison doesn't work on everyone... [ maybe they'll be able to save some of the Kenoma, then, if that sludge isn't a guaranteed conversion. Johnny sighs. ] Okay, then. I'll hope that we get more people waking up.

[ is it fucked up and selfish of him to wish for that? maybe, but he can't bring himself to care very much. ]

[dragonmount]

[ maybe it is, but rand can't bring himself to find it a selfishness. who wouldn't want to keep someone they care about near and safe, instead of potentially lost forever? ]

I will, too.

[ for johnny's sake. for his friends' sakes. and since johnny does seem to be doing a little better, maybe, than he'd been at the regent's address — ]

And I'll keep an eye out for your friend. We'll talk again, alright?

[ and with confirmation, he'll be ready to let this connection end. ]
